From the mind of critic: “If blue skies smile upon us, then is it our perceptions which determines if it’s actually a smile, and not a frown? Do we have the ability to see the positive and negative, just not at the same time? Would we even want to view it all at the same time? Wait, we do have that ability, we simply must remember if utilized, whether kept on the all positive or all negative side, it’s phony. Why you may ask? Balance, it helps the world exist, flourish and thrive. It helps the people not fuck up the world so others can enjoy it. It ushers authenticity. Realness is what we all want, and what we all crave. Lets all realize this so we stop kicking the can down the road, but pick up the can, and with the help of our fellow humans, smash the shot out of it. Our unity depends on our ability to not procrastinate, and not put off viable solutions till a point when they wouldn’t work anymore anyway. Nobody’s perfect, but we all can be mindful; that is if we don’t want to destroy, just to create. Authenticity and truth, it really does a body good.”

From the mind of critic: “If we all want to change the world, but don’t know what to do, are we lying to ourselves? Do we actually know how to change the world, but bear fear the work’s required intensity, because the vast majority of its focus concentrates on what’s inside of us? Does knowing who we are what we think and what we want, give us all the power we need to make our dreams come true, creating the collective heaven on earth our species has trying to create for millennia? The short answer is yes, the long answer is hell yes, and the longer answer is truth, humanism and accountability to our fellow residents of the earth, is how we successfully evolve. Love is the grease that keeps the whole thing moving.”

From the mind of critic: “If both bad and good are necessary parts of life, because a balance of both ensures we’re overtly aware of eithers definition, then can we swing that balance in either direction? Are the choices we make, which evolve from thoughts we have, which form from experiences we gain, the driving force in what side of the coin we fall on? Do we allow bad experiences to color our vision, making us think certain people always act a certain way, and certain events always have the same results, or do we think these bad experiences are just another facet of the rich tapestry of life, and must take them as lessons we must learn so we become better people? Do we allow good experiences to color our vision, so we think people will act the same and events will have the same results, or do these good experiences give us glimpses of how life can be, motivating us to put in the work to usher them in more frequently? Life can go this way or that, always has been that way, and probably always will be. The way we perceive our life’s events, govern the choices we make. There are good and bad aspects of everything, no matter how one sided they appear. We may feel way more comfortable on one side or the other, we may even come to expect one, picturing and propagating the other, because it’s what we expect so it’ll make life easier, or become so confident that no efforts are utilized in procuring results. Once we realize the bigger toolkit we procure for ourselves, the better we’ll be at handling uncomfortable and downright bad situations, and worse at ignoring obvious lessons, we’ll see the inherent two sides to every situation can swing wildly, depending on how mindful we are or aren’t, creating good and bad subjective concepts which seek to lessen the chaos, but can strengthen it if we take somebody else’s as the gospel. Perception, determines results. Ignorance infects, when mindfulness is unknown. Not all of us are good, but not all of us are bad. We’re the driving force in our life, deep down we’ve always known that, no matter how much we try to convince ourselves we forgot.”

From the mind of critic: “If the political cliché of the government is the problem and doesn’t work right, causes official after official to be elected, who purposely make government not work proving the voters right, do those same voters get numb when a candidate runs on the old, “government is terrible” tagline, gets elected, and not only proves the cliché, but takes it 10 steps further, stuffing the supreme court and federal judgeships with radicals who walk in lockstep with the new president, rubberstamping the complete destruction of democracy by eliminating court challenges, allowing the president to threaten Congresspeople, Senators, Governors and judges into submission, forcing them to outlaw gay marriage, again, make abortion illegal, again, charge poll taxes, again, turning back the clock to a time when it was perfectly okay and directly sanctioned by the state to persecute, beat, denigrate, put down, kill, maim, disfigure, or otherwise dehumanize anybody who wasn’t a white protestant male? Do we get numb when all this time travel is being enacted by a dictator in training, who loves authoritarianism, hates the idea that he can’t blanketly rule by fiat, and kill his enemies in the most violent and graphic way possible, so as to discourage others from standing up, and showing who the man behind the curtain really is? We all get numb, but if we don’t want our collective human soul amputated from under use, we must get off our asses and do something, now. What are we waiting for? Things can and will get better, but will get much worse if we don’t act; not tomorrow, not next week or month, but now, RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW. We can always defeat evil, if we believe we can.”

From the mind of critic: “If our mind tells us we can do something, but our body laughs at our stupidity, how do we get them to equalize so they work in tandem, not opposition? How do we balance what we think we can do, with what we previously didn’t think possible? We get off our ass, walk out the front door, inhale the conscious beauty of the world and think, “I got this”. Not because we’re building up false hopes and unattainable goals, but because we believe in ourselves, and our ability to move forward. Which we can 100% do, it just takes the first step. Continuous forward progress, requires continuous self kindness.”

from the mind of critic: 5/14/19

From the mind of critic: “Do we always take a stand, when obvious evidence presents itself? Do we get off our ass and do something, when something or someone is so fucking wrong, that it grows its power because we’re obliviously apathetic to its very existence? Does this growing power see that we’re intimidated by its sheer volume, causing us to not act, which grows its power even more? Does this gigantic monstrosity vacuum everything in its path, but clogs when tenaciously sustainable pushback is applied? Does this whole thing finally explode when the good guys, (i.e. most humans) have jammed up every nook and cranny, leaving the bad guys, (the moneychangers, i.e. the vast minority) to struggle motion in any direction? I can do this, you can do this, we call can do this. Our unity is our greatest strength, and our only hope in defeating the darkness and hate, which currently holds the title of grand illusionist at the head of our societal table. Our conscious energy will flip that table, and replace it with one made from our collective love for each other, specifically because we demanded a new day be built now, not on a nonexistent horizon. A new day means respecting an individual as part of the collective, and following truth no matter where it leads; even if it knocks us from our permanent pedestal. Authenticity will save us all.”

From the mind of critic: “If we’re supposed to pay attention to the bigger picture, by not sweating the small stuff, how do we find balance? Do we keep things simple, so all of life’s often overlooked beauty, can be inhaled deep within our soul, reorganizing what we believe is important? Do we keep things big and broad, so we don’t have to look into anything too deeply, but instead take in as much as we can, so our bigger picture is even bigger? Do we learn the symbiosis of how everything is only the sum of its parts, because the parts do make up the whole, and the whole is what people see the most; but all would be useless on their own, only functioning because of each other? Discussing, parsing, dissecting and defining clichés might be a waste of time in the bigger scheme. However, that bigger scheme can be so big and cumbersome, we sometimes need well-worn phrases, to easily break down meanings to even make sense of how it all adds up. Now sometimes these definitions or others provide a path, but isn’t knowing an idea, much more important than what it’s labeled or called? Which brings us back to which is more important, the chicken or the egg, letters or numbers, up or down, left or right. When we learn neither is more important but equally reliant upon each other for long term survival, we’ll know exactly what to do as a human race, to not only ensure our species survives, but thrives.”

From the mind of critic: “If we’re all dust in the wind, while simultaneously are unique snowflakes, then does chaos get birthed and spread by trying to live within these dichotomies? Does finding a place between being different and being the same, cause us to think outside the box in deciphering paths forward? Do we feel like outsiders amongst insiders, and insiders against insiders because we’re looking to others for acceptance, instead of inside ourselves where our soul defines what our mind can’t? If home is where the heart is, but we can’t find or heart because we haven’t found our place, are we destined to wander aimlessly till the end of time? Are we destined to wander not aimlessly, but purposefully until we find our thing, revealing a deeper part of our soul? Finding out who we are and what we want, is a challenge when we’re young, because we hear countless voices dispensing advice, and either take it all in because we don’t know who we are, or don’t absorb any because we profess to know exactly who we are. This concept doesn’t change when we get older, it only morphs and mutates because finding out who we are is a never-ending process. Once we realize that what makes us different is what makes us the same really means, is our dreams take different forms, but our journey to get there is the same because because of life’s basic equations, we’ll see chaos only seems impossible to conquer, if we don’t realize it’s the universal journey of human discovery. Maybe we’re snowflakes in the wind, which eventually bond together, when we find each other. Promoting difference doesn’t cause division, unless we admit we don’t all have them. Home is where we feel comfortable, which is in our heart when we’re satisfied with living in our own skin. Discovery only ends, if we believe we’ve found everything.”

From the mind of critic: “If the key to beating back our insecurities is loving ourselves, then is the key to enraging them hating ourselves? Does this perceived darkness color not only our decisions, but our corresponding actions? Do these decisions and actions then then affect all people we come into contact with, by ushering their darkness to defend against ours, making them hate themselves, before they spread it to others? Is the key to upending this ever-expanding paradigm, buried within our ability to love ourselves specifically so we can love others, or is it simply thinking we’re not the center of the universe? Is it a combination of both? There are times when we all feel less than, when it doesn’t seem like anything will bring us up. That is until somebody random comes along, or a random event happens, or even a random thought pops up, brought on by allowing our soul to breathe in the beauty of the world. We’ll then see how spreading this good feeling to others will not only bring them up, but will bring us up on a continuous and sustainable basis. Once we realize darkness and light spread at the same rate, only because many others are grappling just like us, we’ll see the key to creating light within ourselves, is changing our perceptions so we see all the light; which we can do anytime we open up enough to let it in. We’re not perfect, but neither is anybody else. Darkness is only helpful, because it shows how much light can undo it. Loving ourselves involves letting light in, and illuminating it back out. We are our own worst enemy, until we realize being or own biggest cheerleader is way more fulfilling.”

From the mind of critic: “When an orange turd lands on our shoe, do we roll around in it, or scrape it off? Do we immerse ourselves, even though we understand how personally damaging it can be? Do we hose it off, so our hands don’t have to touch it? Are we so afraid of the germs, we can’t even touch it with a 39-1/2’ pole, or a gloved hand? Do we wonder why this turd fell at this moment now, not 10 minutes or 10 years from now? Have our poop detection skills fallen into such disrepair, that we’re surprised we even noticed it at all? Did we see others get covered in this orange turd, bathing and wallowing in it, buying into all its alleged health benefits, statements, pronouncements, demands and rants, let alone policies and laws and think, don’t these people know they’re getting covered in shit? Do we know its not just these people who get covered, for when we see them as “those people” , they see us as “those people”, then we’re swimming in shit up to our eyeballs, while the big orange turd laughs all the way to Deutche bank and his Russian oligarch funders? Come on people, let’s stop letting each other be covered in shit by throwing it at each other, and instead throw it at who created it, so we never get smothered by a big, fat orange baby turd again. You know what I’m saying, show the orange turd at 1600 Pennsylvania ave three fingers, and say read between the lines. It’s our unification that scares the shit out of him in the first place.”
